This is a 1963 24" Schwinn Typhoon frame my brother found in Erlanger KY last year. Serial number C328651. I hope to build an adult sized Krate style 5 speed with it and some of the other parts that he found during his 3 visits to the bicycle hunny hole in Somerset KY. It was painted by someone previously but after some acetone and lots of rubbing the original paint looks fairly nice. I think you can tell the difference in the pictures. It has a lot of scratches but it 61 years old. I have heard people say "It's only original once." I hope once the respray is removed I can polish what's left and start the build. Let the fun BEGIN!

Would 0000 steel wool help get that spray paint off?
The spray paint is coming off with a terry cloth, acetone and lots of love. I don't want to take a chance of damaging the original paint any more than it already is. This is going to be a total build starting with just a frame like some of the Step Thru frames others are starting with. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it.
